Yeah, either buy and restore an old Stanley #5 from ebay or hit up DonW here or Patrick Leach (leach@supertool.com) or Josh Clark (http://hyperkitten.com/) for a slightly more expensive, but already restored one.

DO NOT buy a cheapass Groz or Anant plane. They are absolute crap. This is experience talking. They are not worth the frustration.
